Day 24- A letter to your parents

My Parents

(Hazel & Jack Ovitz)

Dear Mom and Dad,

Thank you for being strong Christian parents and leading me to the straight and narrow path. We all have our falters, but you always picked me up and led me back to the right path. Just like Christ does for his lost sheep!

John 10:27-30 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. I and the Father are one.

I know that we always haven't agreed on the decisions I have made, but you have always been supportive no matter what.

You both always pushed me with education as it was very important to you that we had the opportunity to have one. So thank you for my education and giving me a life free and clear of debt. I will say that this made the start of my life (and Joe and my life) on the right track! Not many children can say that they were debt free getting out of college.

For many years you paid a lot of money for my dance classes, costumes, and travel. I will say those were some of the best years of my life. Dancing is still one of my passions, but I wish you have never let me quit! But again, you never forced us into anything that we didn't want to do. Again appreciated.

Thank you for not only being my parents, but also my friends.

Love,

Your Favorite Child
